Just do it, and if it wants to activate wrap the whole thing up and send it
to Microsoft along with a bill of, say, 400.000 USD ;-)

No, don't send it - just change the card outisde of office hours. Even if
you need to re-activate, which I very much doubt, you'll still have a lot
of time to do it. Better than have the video card break down at the middle
of the day bringing the whole system down. Eventually you'll have to change
the card anyway, so pick your time rather than leave it at chance.
